“Hey it’s Kat & Alex. Here’s our song We Bought A House.”
Alex: “So the story behind We Bought A House is a literal story about us buying our first house. But also something that we hope people can connect to as far as dreaming about buying a house. The market’s crazy right now. And it’s a little difficult to get some houses. But we’re hoping that people will listen to the song, and just dream about getting their house one day and then get their house one day. Because that’s something everybody deserves, right?”
Kat: “It’s the craziest feeling in the world.”
Alex: “But we got in the room with Lindsey Rimes, and Josh Osborne, and we had just bought our house. And Josh was asking us, what do you want to write about today? And we told him about our experience, he goes, you will not believe this. But I’ve been wanting to write a song about buying a house. So we had this title, but he’s like, I don’t know how to write this without sounding arrogant. We said, well, let’s just write about the dream about buying a house and experiencing that. Because I feel like anybody can connect to that, whether you’ve actually done it or not.”
Kat: “Or making any place a home.”
Alex: “Exactly. It’s, you know, you walk into an apartment, you know, you didn’t buy it, but hey, moving in, and like stringing up lights and maybe painting the wall that you’re not supposed to.”
Kat: “Bringing your family, you know?”
Alex: “It’s just that experience. And we just wanted everybody to experience that in this song.”
“Hey it’s Kat & Alex. That was our song We Bought A House.”
| NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Rising country-Latin duo Kat & Alex released a new track today, “We Bought A House.” Listen here. “‘We Bought A House’ is a really special song for us because it was formed out of the actual experience of buying our very first home,” Kat & Alex said. “Our co-writers Lindsay Rimes and Josh Osborne really helped us bring it to life. Josh had been sitting on the title for a while, and it was fate that we got in the room with him that day because we had just bought our first house. We were able to take all of our new homeowner excitement and put it into the song.” The couple continued, “We wanted to make the song really special so that it could not only inspire others to chase their dreams of buying their own homes, but also help those who already did find a deeper connection with their home. We feel what’s really special about this song is no matter where you are—whether you’re in a house, an apartment, or anywhere else—you can make any place feel like home when you’re with someone you love. We hope everyone enjoys ‘We Bought A House’ just as much as we do!” “We Bought A House” follows the duo’s recently released “Tomemos Un Trago,” which is the Spanish version of their track “Let’s Find A Bar.” This is the second entirely Spanish song Kat & Alex have released so far this year following “Yo Quiero Amarte,” the Spanish version of their critically acclaimed track “I Want It All.” It remains the couple’s mission to share music that reaches and celebrates their diverse and expansive audience, and they plan to continue on this pursuit with their latest song, “We Bought A House.” Named a CMT Listen Up artist for 2022 and singled out as an Artist to Watch by Sounds Like Nashville, Country Now and others, Kat & Alex are “well on their way to stardom” (People Magazine) and continue to establish themselves as Nashville’s most compelling outliers. Next week, Kat & Alex will head to Dallas, Houston and Austin, TX for headlining shows. For a full list of upcoming tour dates and tickets, visit KatandAlex.com. |
About Kat & Alex:
For as much as Kat & Alex embody classic country stylings and values, the Nashville-based duo also rewrite the rules altogether with a Latin twist. The husband-and-wife pair shake up country with full-bodied soulful delivery, engaging live instrumentation, and bilingual lyrics, introducing themselves as Nashville’s most compelling outliers. Kat is a Miami native and first-generation American from a Cuban family. Alex, who is of Puerto Rican descent, grew up in Northwestern Georgia and moved to Miami by middle school. Their paths crossed after Kat witnessed Alex singing one day at their church, and the two quickly forged an eternal bond after meeting up to collaborate. They appeared on American Idol individually before returning home to focus on writing and recording original music as a duo, and then made their way to Nashville in 2020, igniting a life-altering couple of years. Kat & Alex released their debut single “How Many Times” and its accompanying Spanish version in the fall of 2020, which amassed nearly 20 million streams independently. The following year the couple tied the knot, made their Grand Ole Opry debut, and released several new tracks to critical acclaim including “Heartbreak Tour,” which The New York Times dubbed as “an earnest power country slow-burner.” Named a 2022 Artist to Watch by Sounds Like Nashville and Country Now as well as a CMT “Listen Up” artist, the duo is set to make waves this year with their scorching signature style while resolutely representing Hispanic culture in country music with a sound that’s rich and soulful with velvet harmonies, pop-like vocal riffs, and hooky lyrics.
